Kent’s advice for aspiring actors
“[N]ever give up, try and network and be amongst as many creative people as you can. Find out when there are networking nights, find out where you can get auditions, make sure you don’t pay to audition for anything and just learn about the business. Mix with actors who are already in the business, doing what you want to do one day yourself.” —from a 2018 interview for Nerdly
